Historical Background:On the 14th of July 1944, 36 B-17 Flying Fortress dropped a large number of weapons intended for the French Resistance near the village of Sussac. Germans reacted quickly by sending troops to prevent the Resistance to get back and to distribute the weapons. Georges Guinguoin, famous leader of the French Resistance in the area and called "1st French Maquis", deployed his troops around of Mount Gargan to block the German advance. The battle lasted from 17th to 24th of July. German troops, composed by elements of the Jesser Brigade, French Milice and some garrison units, attacked Mount Gargan on the 18th of July from the village of Surdoux. The French Resistance faced to forces superior in numbers and equipped with heavy weapons so they yielded ground to the enemy gradually and abandonned the chapel of Mount Gargan which was destroyed. But the German troops suffered losses three times more important than the French Resistance.
